Marmon Motor Car Company

American company

Quick Summary

The Marmon Motor Car Company was an American manufacturer of luxury automobiles. It was one of many smaller carmakers that existed in the early automotive industry. By 1929, the "Big Three" (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) dominated the market, supplying three-fourths of American vehicles. The remaining market share was divided among a few larger independent manufacturers and smaller companies, including Marmon. The economic depression of the 1930s led to the elimination of most of these smaller manufacturers, further increasing the dominance of the Big Three.12
